One hundred and ninety-two aspiring comedians and performers who’d already completed introductory-level improv training at professional school applied for the Bob Curry Fellowship. This year’s 16 recipients of the fellowship will perform this summer — June 9-10, 2017 — at the Annual Break Out Comedy Festival.
